Adware or PUA Detected then Disappears from Quarantine Manager

R_T_P

After updating definitions, Sophos finds adware or a PUA.  Specifically, it reads, "Adware or PUA detected by Sophos.  Generic PUA ND (other) has been blocked and listed in Quarantine Manager."  When I open Quarantine Manager, it lists something for only a second, then whatever it lists disappears.  The adware or PUA does not remain on the system long enough for me to check it out.  Any ideas what is going on?

    Hi RTP

    If it disappears when opening the QM then it usually means SAV can't see the file any more because it's moved/deleted itself. This usually means the file was in a web browser cache, which then gets flushed, causing the files to appear and disappear.

    To learn more about where the threat was located, I recommend checking the logs:

    I also keep getting "Issues Detected are-8u51-macosx-x64.dmg" this seems to stop the scan for a while then eventually it starts running again, any ideas on what this means?
